Abstract
Hearing processing and communication abilities development may be influenced by chronic inflammation of the airways in children, especially in case of otitis media and/or adenotonsillar hypertrophy. The present review summarizes the influence of adenotonsillar hypertrophy on speech abilities as well as the consequences of otitis media, with a particular focus on peripheral and central hearing, on the development of language, attention, and memory skills.
